Notes & Pairings
This is a field blend from a 40+ year-old site consisting mostly of Blaufränkisch, Portugieser, Welschriesling, Fetească Regală, and a little floater of Merlot and a few unidentified grapes. Everything was destemmed and then co-fermented in open vats for 2-3 days. Pressed and aged in 500L and 225L oak barrels, it was bottled unfiltered with around 10 ppm of SO2. While it’s certainly in the chilled red/Siller category, it has enough grip and ripeness to satisfy a red wine drinker with the acidity and aromatics to please a white wine drinker as well. Why not just combine all this old vine goodness together?! Bottled unfiltered with 10ppm SO2.
